My son and his girlfriend of several years are getting married today. Please pray that Patrick and Marlet have many happy years together. The wedding will take place at Patrick's house with family and a few close friends as guests.
O gracious and everlasting God, look mercifully upon Patrick and Marlet who come to you seeking your blessing, and assist them with your grace, that with true fidelity and steadfast love they may honor and keep the promises and vows they make; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.A song for Patrick and Marlet.
(Book of Common Prayer)
Leonard Cohen's great song "Dance Me to the End of Love" by The Civil Wars, a new musical duo I've recently discovered, whom I enjoy very much.
